Design a Disc Brake in SolidWorks - Hard Level Tutorial

Learn how to design a complete disc brake - rotor, caliper, and bracket - as a single multi-body part in SolidWorks, no assembly required. In this video, I walk through the full workflow used to model a realistic disc brake as one part: ✅ Revolve the rotor's base disc profile ✅ Pattern the cross-drilled holes and slots around the rotor face ✅ Pattern the lug bolt holes on the center hub ✅ Extrude and fillet the caliper as a separate solid body in the same part ✅ Extrude the caliper mounting bracket as another solid body ✅ Position all three bodies precisely using shared sketches and Move/Copy Body — no assembly, no mates This is a different approach than most tutorials take — building the rotor, caliper, and bracket as separate bodies inside one part instead of a full assembly. It's a genuinely useful technique to know, but it also means every body has to be positioned by hand with sketch relations and reference geometry instead of leaning on mates to line things up for you. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Final Part Preview 00:13 Modeling the rotor 06:40 Drilled holes and slots 09:25 Lug bolt pattern 18:10 Modeling the caliper 27:25 Modeling the bracket 39:25 Positioning the bodies 🔧 Commands used: Revolve, Circular Pattern, Extruded Cut, Fillet, Extrude Boss/ Base 📌 Subscribe to CADXpertbillu for more real-life SolidWorks projects and CAD tutorials for engineering students. #SolidWorks #CADTutorial #MechanicalEngineering #HardTutorials
